dose ranging study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of medi8852 in adults who are hospitalized with type a influenza.

Conditions: Influenza - Type A Strains

Summary: the purposes of this study are to determine if medi8852 administered with standard of care (oseltamivir) will reduce the time to normalization of respiratory function for adults who are hospitalized with influenza caused by type a strains and to determine if medi8852 has an acceptable safety profile in adults who are hospitalized with influenza caused by type a strains.

the medi8852 phase 2b study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single intravenous (iv) dose of medi8852 or placebo administered in conjunction with oseltamivir in adult subjects who are hospitalized with influenza caused by type a strains. approximately 450 subjects will be enrolled at study centers in north america, europe, and other regions.
